The Halunder Jet is a catamaran high-speed ferry classified as a High Speed ​​Craft .

From 2003 to 2017, in the season from April to November, she was a passenger ship between Hamburg , Cuxhaven and the North Sea island of Helgoland . The operator at that time was FRS Helgoline  GmbH & Co. KG, which belongs to the Förde Reederei Seetouristik (FRS) .

The catamaran was transferred to Canada in November 2017 as a cargo from the heavy lift carrier Palabora and has been in use in North America by the FRS subsidiary Clipper Navigation since 2018 under the name Victoria Clipper V.

From commissioning in 2003 to autumn 2017, the catamaran named Halunder Jet was used daily by the Förde Reederei Seetouristik on the Hamburg - Wedel - Cuxhaven - Helgoland route on the Lower Elbe and the Helgoland Bay during the season. He traveled on the Lower Elbe and in the German Bight . On the way, the ship called at Cuxhaven every day. As of 2015, it brought more than 1.2 million people to Heligoland (including 91,628 passengers in the 2014 season and 93,531 passengers in the 2015 season). During its deployment between the mainland and Heligoland, the catamaran covered more than 537,000  nautical miles .

In April 2014 the ship was flagged out to Cyprus for cost reasons ; Limassol became the new home port .

For the 2018 season, the Halunder Jet in Helgoland traffic was replaced by a new building of the same name , which can carry around 20% more passengers. The Halunder Jet was withdrawn from the route in mid-October 2017, then got a new exterior paint job and was transferred from Emden on the heavy-lift carrier Palabora to Victoria, British Columbia from mid-November 2017 to mid-December 2017 . In January 2018, the ship was in Victoria Clipper V renamed. The Victoria Clipper V has been used by the FRS subsidiary Clipper Navigation between Victoria and Seattle since March 1, 2018 .
